Almost half of the accidental deaths of children are directly attributable to motor vehicle accidents, yet many children continue to ride unrestrained. This study was designed to determine if an educational program could increase preschool children's knowledge of car safety and improve their behavior when riding in cars. Knowledge scores increased significantly following the educational program, but the use of seat belts did not change markedly. Although young children can learn self-care skills in respect to seat belt use, they apparently need strong support and reinforcement from parents in their implementation.
儿童意外死亡事件中，近半数直接归因于机动车事故，然而仍有许多儿童乘车时未系安全带。本研究旨在确定一项教育计划能否增加学龄前儿童的汽车安全知识，并改善他们乘车时的行为。教育计划实施后，知识得分显著提高，但安全带的使用情况并无明显变化。尽管幼儿能够学习关于使用安全带的自我保护技能，但在实际执行中，他们显然需要父母给予有力的支持和强化。
